Book Cart Drill Team - Neatorama

(YouTube Link)

The American Library Association (ALA) just finished its annual conference in Chicago. This is a video of the winners of the book cart drill team competition. These librarians from the Omaha Public Library chose a 'Ride of the Valkyries' theme.

Alas, I missed ALA this year. But as a faithfully married man, I shouldn't be availing myself of its bacchanal pleasures anyway.

bacchanal pleasures? that would be inappropriate for a married person?! OH MY GOD! ALL MY LIBRARIAN FANTASIES ARE TRUE!! Take me Melinda, take me in the periodicals section, you bespectacled satyress! Let me tear off your frumpy brown sweater and expose your supple bosom!!! Ravage me against the bookcases and let the books fall around us, on top of us, as we collapse in the lexical rhapsody...

Am I crazy or was the "microphone" used by the lady flailing around at the end a big, pink dildo?

Feh, you are not crazy, I thought that too. Those dirty, dirty librarians!

Amusing, but the others must have been really bad if this team won. Or the scoring was based solely on the idea rather than on technique.

I'd say summer reading has finally driven them crazy.
